Dec 15, 2017The album is faaaaaaar away from being the best Eminem album. It's an okay album, wasn't impressive but it works sometimes. Pretty average album that could be better.
-
Dec 20, 2017It's ok. I could do without the cringy lines Marshall raps every now and then, but almost every hip hop album today has some cringe (whether people like to admit it or not).
-
Dec 16, 2017The real revelation with this album is that Eminem is no longer the 2000s shock rapper you fell in love with. He has matured in both vision and flow, resulting in a "beautiful mess" of some sorts. The lows are bad, including the abysmal Pink collab and horribly sampled "Framed", but "River" is bound for chart glory and the album closes with enough strength to merit a positive score.

Dec 21, 2017Eminem’s talent with rhyming and flow is obviously present in most cases, but it certainly can’t carry a long work like this on its own, and the flat beats, annoying countermelodies, and lackluster musical ideas did no complimenting and twiddled this down to only a sliver of worth. My Score: 105/180 (Okay) = 5.8/10

Dec 15, 2017Album started out well enough but was disappointing towards the end. Overall an average album. Em came in with some nice verses but his flow was lackluster at parts and underwhelming in the overall context of the album. Some songs were bad but for the most part the album was okay. Features were good, nothing special but ok.

Jul 6, 2018This album is a generally mixed one in my opinion. With tracks such as "River" and "Offended" where Eminem shows off his lyrical talent and with tracks such as "Heat" it's garbage. For me, it's a mixed rating.

Nov 4, 2018If this songs: "River (feat.Ed Sheeran), Bad Husband (feat. X Ambassadors) and Need Me (feat. P!nk) wasn't on the album, it would be a 9 for me.
This album is one of those that every listening it gets better and emotional. "Arose", " In Your Head" and "Framed" are my favourite. -
Jun 16, 2022Definitely gets better after the 11th track. Very underrated. You should listen to this album after listening to his other albums first. 6.7/10 Favourite track: Framed
-
May 19, 2019This album is over hated its actually decent. Lyrically being amazing there were some good hooks some were bad the production was actually good people are trashing its production first no reason
There were some really good songs like walk on water, believe arose and there were some really bad songs like heat, offended -
Jan 20, 2020Don’t hate it like some people do. Still some good tracks on it. Fave tracks; Remind Me, In Your Head, Framed, Chloraseptic

Dec 2, 2020Revival is a very polarizing album (obviously). The lyrical prowess on this album is as amazing as ever, but the beats, hooks, and topics are lacking. Great rapping, but a mediocre album as a whole.
-
Jul 12, 2022Revival, when played in short bursts, can provide and feel like some of Eminem's best work of the 2010s, but when played the whole way through, it can feel tedious and dull.

Jul 30, 2021It's not terrible but none of the songs are really worth listening to repeatedly. Eminem raps in his more contemporary style. Definitely one of Eminem's weaker albums, maybe his low point. Too many features from pop musicians and no standout singles that are bangers.

Jan 4, 2018Maybe I put a lot of expectation on this Eminem album. He did not sound unique and with unique sounds as he always brought. Songs with dubious production and with known samples, it sounded generic and not very authentic. There are some good tracks in your album like river and remind me, but they are by far, unoriginal. Sad

Mar 25, 2018Eminems rhyme scheme is still on point but his choppy deliver can get annoying. He still has talented story telling songs like castle but half the songs are trash or forgettable but never the less Eminem is one of the if not the GOAT.
-
Aug 7, 2021This album is overhated but it's not a good one either. It's ok.
Best songs: Arose, Castle
Worst songs: Heat, Need Me -

Jan 18, 2018At least a third of the tracks are songs I could do without. The other two-thirds show that whether you love or hate the modern day Marshall Mathers, he's still as relevant as he ever was.
